Hudson Taylor: An adventure begins

The story of Hudson Taylor is one of adventure and excitement – of improbable answers to prayer, opposition from the establishment and triumphs of faith.

Even though he was a sickly child who was often ill and had very poor eyesight, God chose him to evangelise the Chinese. So at the age of 21 Hudson Taylor left the United Kingdom to sail half way round the world to China. Why did he do this? He did it to tell the Chinese people about the good news of Jesus Christ and to give them a message of hope. This story covers Hudson’s childhood and traumatic teenage years as well as his life as a well–known pioneer missionary.

The Trailblazer series collects great stories from Christians of the past and delivers them to the young people of today. This gripping and astonishing story from Catherine MacKenzie will challenge young readers to follow God like Hudson Taylor did.
